KUALA LUMPUR – Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH) said today that it has yet to receive any official information related to next year’s haj pilgrimage from the Saudi Arabian authorities.

In this regard, TH executive director (haj) Datuk Seri Syed Saleh Syed Abdul Rahman urged the people  to not be influenced by any information related to the implementation of the 2021M/1442H haj, which has been circulating on social media over the past few days.

“The minister (Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri) and senior management of TH are expected to hold a meeting with Saudi Arabia’s Haj Minister early next year,” he said in a statement.

Syed Saleh said TH will then announce the outcome of the meeting.

Meanwhile, he urged the public to refer to TH to obtain authentic and official information regarding next year’s haj pilgrimage.

Those with enquiries can contact TH customer service at 03-6207-1919. – Bernama, December 29, 2020
